KABUL, Afghanistan - In his last phone call home, Lance Cpl. Gregory Buckley Jr. told his father what was troubling him: From his bunk in southern Afghanistan, he could hear Afghan police officers sexually abusing boys they had brought to the base.

“At night we can hear them screaming, but we’re not allowed to do anything about it,” the Marine’s father, Gregory Buckley Sr., recalled his son telling him before he was shot to death at the base in 2012. He urged his son to tell his superiors. “My son said that his officers told him to look the other way because it’s their culture.”

The policy of instructing soldiers to ignore child sexual abuse by their Afghan allies is coming under new scrutiny, particularly as it emerges that service members like Captain Quinn have faced discipline, even career ruin, for disobeying it. – From the New York Times article: U.S. Soldiers Told to Ignore Sexual Abuse of Boys by Afghan Allies

By Michael Krieger: It would be bad enough if U.S. wars overseas were merely a gigantic waste of taxpayer money. Although they certainly are that.It would be bad enough if U.S. wars overseas resulted in the inadvertent deaths of countless innocent civilians and unimaginable humanitarian crimes. Although they certainly do.

By Janet Bloomfield (aka JudgyBitch):I found this article via The Ralph Retort, and followed it to Salon, morbidly curious. OMG this is some sick shit, even for Salon. Spinning pedophilia as a variant of human sexuality, sort of like being (or choosing to be) homosexual is a variant of human sexuality.

NO NO NO NO NO NO!

I do not have enough all caps to express how NO this idea is. I can get on board with compassion for people who are afflicted with pedophilia, who, after all, did not choose their mental illness, but understanding? Are you fucking kidding me? My tolerance is supposed to include tolerance for adults who want to fuck children? I should treat their desires as utterly benign as long as they don’t indulge them? Trust them with my children?Absolutely not. This is complete madness. Pedophilia is not an alternate sexuality, it is a serious mental illness that creates a very dangerous reality: pedophiles prey on the utterly defenseless, and there is no room for tolerance of any kind. Period. I agree with the writer that pretending pedophiles don’t exist pushes them underground, but self-confessed pedophiles need treatment, not understanding.

By Lexi Finnigan: Equal numbers of female judges could inflict “appalling consequences” on the quality of British justice, warns a Supreme Court judge.

Lord Sumption said he believed the judiciary was a “terrific public asset” which could be “destroyed very easily” if the selection of candidates was skewed in favour of women.

To avoid causing damage, he added that equality campaigners would need to be “patient” and suggested it could take up to 50 years before the number of women on the Bench matched the total number of men.

Lord Sumption, 66, also claimed it was “rubbish” to say that the law was run by an “old boys’ network” and insisted instead that the lack of female judges was mainly the result of a“lifestyle choice”by women unwilling to tolerate long hours and poor working conditions.

The overall proportion of female court judges is currently just over 25 per cent. In an interview with the Evening Standard, he also suggested that British courts could successfully protect citizens from oppression if the Government went ahead with its plan to replace the Human Rights Act with new legislation. He also called for “radical” reforms to reduce legal costs and spoke of his concern for the “terrible” plight faced by young Londoners seeking to buy homes.

By mom4dads:According to Ms Clementine Ford,“Abortion is simply a medical procedure, and deserves no more scrutiny or moralising than would the extraction of a cyst or tooth” “Until recently, it was seen as de rigeuer for women to speak about abortions in hushed whispers or trembling voices, if indeed they spoke about them at all. The prevailing archetype was of the tortured woman who wrestled with her choice every day, while the in fact more common scenario – that of the woman who experienced nothing but relief, and proceeded to devote little to no time to pondering the decision in the months and years following it – was shielded from view.” (…) “I am proud of the life I live and the work that I do, and both of those things were made possible because I was able to twice access a necessary medical procedure that is the business of nobody else but me and my health care provider. I’m not ashamed of rejecting the popular narrative that positions women as the grateful sources of sacrificial love. My life – the lives of all people who have wombs – are more important than the potential lives legislators would see us forced to carry in them and then care for.”“If you’ve had an abortion, you have nothing to apologise for. But just in case anyone tries to make you feel like you do, know this: you have an army of people behind you, and we’re not whispering anymore.”

By Gilad Atzmon:I wonder whether Cameron's attachment to pigs is going to impact his relationships with the Jewish lobby. Meanwhile we learn that the Jewish Lobby has invited Jeremy Corbyn to speak to them. Are these events related? I guess that like the rest of the Brits, the Jewish lobby has to decide whether they prefer a true leader who 'sleeps with Hamas' or an Oxford boy who does it with pigs. The Jewish rabbinical council confirmed last night that at least from a pure Judaic perspectives, Hamas is more kosher. SourceTHE JEWISH CHRONICLE:Jeremy Corbyn has been invited to speak at Labour Friends of Israel’s reception at next week’s party conference in Brighton. It is traditional for the party’s leader or spokesman on foreign affairs to address the event. Mr Corbyn has a long history of anti-Israel activism. His office has yet to respond to the invitation. Shadow Foreign Secretary Hilary Benn is due to speak at the LFI event.

By Michael Krieger: TSA agents don’t get enough credit. They aren’t just experts at sexually molesting airport passengers, although they are very good at that. They have also become well known for outright theft.Here’s the latest from the New York Post:

A TSA agent at JFK Airport was busted when he was caught stealing money out of a passenger’s wallet at a security checkpoint, authorities said.Joe Bangay, 37, was processing passengers at Terminal 1 around 10:30 p.m. Saturday when he swiped $61 in cash out of the passenger’s wallet, according to police.PAPD officers reviewed security footage and watched as the victim placed the wallet in a basket and laid it on the conveyor belt of the X-ray machine.The cops then witnessed Bangay allegedly pick up the wallet and pocket the money.The theft comes on the heels of several other crimes involving TSA agents.

Agent Margo Lauree-Grant was arrested earlier this month for allegedly stealing a Canadian passenger’s diamond-encrusted watch at JFK.

Dear Reader

Are YOU Involved or Institutionalized? Our belief that the global economic crisis would persist and deepen is being vindicated and current events are now as clear as ever on the matter. Time for all of us to wake up, stand up and be counted or continue to lose all our liberties. Protect your homes and families. The sun will still rise but financial chaos and suffering due to the global fascist banksters' greed and corruption, slaughter due to the MIC's directed world wars in our name etc. is not pretty. We are feeling the effect on our society the size and like of which we have never known.

We are way past being surprised at the blanket suppression of this information by the BBC and main stream media propaganda machines. Information is clearly available elsewhere and unchallenged, accounts for a far more realistic rendition of what we have actually seen and what we continue to see develop, whilst the main stream news put out leaves many confused and bewildered, 99.9% of us wrong footed and the awakened indignant. As we can now see, the apparently 'soft fascist' powers that be aim to block these alternative avenues of information. Book up, "Long Live the Evolution."Feel free to kopimi. Angelo Agathangelou.

P.S. The MHRM, are calling out the constant misinformation disseminated by and maintain our open challenge especially to western radical feminists, to point out just one area where government in the UK, Europe or anywhere else in the English speaking world disadvantages women and girls when compared with men and boys, ...the wage disparity myth having long been debunked by serious academics and statisticians. So far this challenge has remained unanswered. Western feminism is obsolete.

N.B.

These pages exist because we believe information from all perspectives should be aired, they do not necessarily reflect our views unless explicitly stated. We do not intend to cause offense, but we feel there is a need for such a shift in our society that to call it change rather than evolution would be an understatement. A velvet revolution towards living with reality for the individual, the family and society. A revolution towards living within our means and taking responsibility for ourselves, instead of mortgaging the future of our children to bloated leech faux democracy for the benefit of Ponzi 'banksters' and The Military Industrial Complex.
